As long as you get used to the Nokia N78’s keypad, you’ll think it is a best phone you can have.

Having been said to be a budget Nokia N96, the N78 has all must even though none is of the best. It works faster than most smart phones. I bought this phone because I like its sleek and fashion design. I am very satisfied with this phone. The D-Pad navigation is a little worn out, but it’s OK. So far as megapixel count is concerned, the N78’s camera isn’t as good as the N95. But it’s still capable enough to snap good pictures.
